More bad news for the GOP

[Popeye]

No wonder the wingnuts are acting crazier than usual....

37

That's the number of states that are either solidly or leaning Democratic in a series of Gallup tracking polls conducted over the first six months of 2009. Only eight states are solidly or leaning Republicans in that same data.

The numbers, which are based on party identification of adults in national tracking polls, paint a stark portrait of the challenge facing Republicans not just in the 2010 midterm election but also in the 2012 presidential race.

There are currently 29 states in which Democrats enjoy a 10-percentage point (or more) edge on party identification. Compare that to just four states where the Republican edge is ten points or higher (Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Alaska) and one (Alabama) that leans toward the GOP.

Add up the 29 states that are in the solidly Democratic category, according to Gallup, and you get 350 electoral votes; add up the four states in the solidly Republican category and you get 15 electoral votes.

These polls you posted are interesting, they do not say who they are talking about.


Under Connecticut it has the democrat way way higher than the republican, the only race I know of there coming up is Senator Chris Dodd and he is still behind in the polls. Can you find a chart that says who they are actually talking about?

The numbers are not about any specific candidates, it's about party ID. Now, as the article states, in every election there are always some voters that identify with one party yet vote for the candidate of another...but generally, if the polls are correct, this a good omen for Democrats.
